Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

The prince tried to move his body again, but he fell on the bed exhausted. He could only follow He Shulan's advice and take care of his body first.

At this time, the old lady came in with cooked noodles: "It's good that you're awake. Have breakfast first."

The prince raised his hand with great effort, trying to take the bowl from the old lady, but he couldn't hold it steady.

"Let me feed you." He Shulan took the bowl, picked up the noodles in the bowl, and fed it to the prince's mouth.

The prince, who was unable to eat on his own, could only accept He Shulan's care.

The early morning sunlight filtered in through the window, illuminating He Shulan's delicate face. Her three-dimensional facial features softened a lot, and her slightly raised mouth corners showed a hint of charm in her purity.

The prince was distracted. Ever since He Shulan married into his mansion, he had never looked at her straight in the eye. Today, when he took a closer look, he did not expect He Shulan to be so beautiful.

"Why are you looking at me? Eat the noodles quickly. They won't taste good if they get cold." He Shulan reminded the prince when she saw him sitting there without moving.

The prince came to his senses, opened his mouth immediately, and quickly finished the bowl of noodles.

As time passed, under He Shulan's careful care, the prince's health recovered well.

As soon as the prince was able to walk, he couldn't wait to take He Shulan back to the capital.

Before leaving, He Shulan placed a silver note of one hundred taels on the table, said hello to the old man and the old woman, and then the two left.

When He Shulan and the Prince disappeared at the end of the path, the old lady walked into the room to clean and saw the silver bills on the table.

He ran out in a hurry and handed the banknotes in his hand to his wife: "They only stayed here for a few days and had a few simple meals. I feel bad that they left so much money behind."

The old man took the silver note and chased the Prince and He Shulan along the road. However, due to his old age, he could not run fast and he did not catch up with them even on the main road. He could only return home with the silver note.

……

The Prince and He Shulan walked on the official road for a long time and finally saw the city wall of the capital.

He Shulan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had no danger along the way and did not encounter any bandits.

The two men in coarse linen clothes walked to the city gate and were stopped by soldiers: "Everyone entering the city gate will be checked. You two should go to the back and line up."

The prince was of noble status. Except for entering the palace, he did not need to be checked anywhere in the capital. "How dare you check me?"

"Humph, what's the difference between you and those ordinary people queuing up? They all need to queue up, and so do you."

The prince was originally very angry, but when he saw the soldier was so serious and responsible, his anger instantly disappeared: "Didn't you recognize who I am?"

The soldiers guarding the city gates were of low status and rarely met dignitaries: "How could I possibly know you? Stop talking nonsense and get in line."

"I am the prince."

How could the soldiers believe that the man in the coarse linen clothes could be a noble prince? "Don't pretend to be a noble official in the capital. If you use their names to cheat, I can arrest you and put you in jail."

The prince showed a bitter smile at this time. He did not have the jade pendant that could prove his identity as a prince, so he could only obediently drag He Shulan to queue up.

The soldiers no longer troubled them.

Fortunately, the two of them left home early and the line was not very long, so it was soon their turn. After being checked by the soldiers, the two of them entered the capital safely.

After walking for half a day, their legs were so weak that they rented a carriage to return to the Prince's Mansion.

The servants of the Prince's Mansion looked at the Prince and Princess in disbelief. They didn't know what had happened to the two of them. Their silk and satin clothes were gone.

At this time, he did not have time to ask in detail, and led the Princess and the Prince inside: "The two masters are back, the old lady is very worried, hurry up and report to the old lady that you are safe."

When the old lady learned that the two had returned safely, she stood up from her seat, went to the door to greet them, and held the hands of the prince and princess, and burst into tears with excitement.

Seeing that the two had ruddy complexions and no wounds on their bodies, he was relieved: "It's good that you're back."

Chunxia, ​​Qiudong and Nanny Chen immediately surrounded the Princess and asked her about her well-being.

After everyone's emotions calmed down, the old lady asked, what happened to you on the way back?

He Shulan replied with a shrewd face: "We encountered bandits, and the carriage overturned under the cliff while we were escaping. Fortunately, we escaped."

"It's God's blessing that I can come back alive. Tomorrow I will go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and add incense money."

He Shulan asked in confusion: "Why are there so many bandits in the suburbs of Beijing?"

The old lady explained: "The bandits in Qiuyun Mountain are criminals who committed crimes among the people and were wanted by the court. They had no other way to go, so they went up the mountain to become bandits, so they were extremely vicious. The other bandits were those whose villages suffered disasters, whose families were broken up, and some who were so poor that they had no food to eat, so they had no choice but to become bandits. They only wanted money and did not want to hurt people's lives."

He Shulan sighed: "This world is too chaotic."

"No, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't fight against heaven." The old lady had only slept for a few hours these days. The prince and his wife returned safely, and she couldn't hold on any longer. She asked the servants in the mansion to inform the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple who was still looking for them: "I'm going to rest first. If there's anything, we can talk tonight."

After the old lady left, the prince couldn't wait to go to Li Wanrong's courtyard. The exquisite and luxurious courtyard was unusually quiet.

He pushed open the red wooden door, and found the room empty. His heart skipped a beat, and he opened the wardrobe, and found it was empty. Could it be that Li Wanrong had left the Prince's Mansion?

His dark eyes turned bloodshot and he shouted, "Someone, come quickly."

The servant who was waiting outside rushed in: "Prince, what happened?"

"Where is Aunt Li?" the prince asked angrily.

"Aunt Li has been kept in the mansion by the old lady and has not left the house," the servant replied truthfully.

The prince pointed to the empty room and said, "Where are the people? Even the luggage in the closet is gone."

The servant didn't know how to answer. The prince and princess were missing, the mansion was in chaos, and no one paid attention to Aunt Li: "I don't know."

The prince hurried to the gate and asked the servants guarding the gate, "Did you see Aunt Li leave the house?"

"The old lady has issued an order not to allow Aunt Li to leave the house. Every time she goes out, we stop her."

Now, the prince was confused. Could it be that Li Wanrong could disappear out of thin air? After thinking about it, he thought that she must have climbed over the wall and ran away. He immediately summoned the soldiers in the mansion to follow him to find Li Wanrong.

Soon the news of Li Wanrong's disappearance spread throughout the Prince's Mansion. Although He Shulan didn't care much, for the sake of the Prince, she had to pretend and let Chunxia keep an eye on Li Wanrong's news.
